Why the Valuation Can Differ From the Purchase Price
Valuation difference guide for Eindhoven buyers and homeowners. See what affects price, timing, payment, and document readiness before you book.
The short answer
A residential property valuation gives a reasoned market value for a home and a stated purpose. For mortgage use in the Netherlands, the report type, lender wording, property documents, and timing all matter.
For TaxatieEindhoven.com, the standard validated residential report price is EUR 599 incl. VAT. Urgency, renovation valuation, and a full English translation each cost EUR 60 incl. VAT when they apply.
Cost, timing, and payment checks
The standard validated residential report costs EUR 599 incl. VAT. That price includes VAT, validation charges, and travel within the Eindhoven service area, so you know the baseline before the file is reviewed.
Extra costs are clear when they apply. Urgent handling, renovation valuation, and a full English translation each cost EUR 60 incl. VAT. Special properties, complex cases, or missing documents can still affect the quote.
Payment is by bank transfer and is due one week after you receive the report. If you cancel after work has started, or if an inspection is missed, costs can apply for the time already spent.

Prepare the file before inspection
A better first check starts with the documents and wording already in your inbox. Use this list before you request a callback.
Save the exact wording
Keep the message from your mortgage advisor, lender, notary, or broker. The small words around NWWI, NHG, validation, deadline, or report type can matter.
Gather property evidence
Collect the purchase agreement, property address, energy label, renovation notes, apartment or VvE details, and any inspection or condition information.
Check timing early
The usual report turnaround is 5 working days after intake. Urgent handling can be 3 working days or less where feasible and costs EUR 60 incl. VAT.
Ask before you assume
Commercial properties and new-build valuations are outside the current scope. If your case is unusual, ask your advisor what evidence is accepted before you book.
How to read the quote before you book
A valuation quote should be clear before work starts. Check the standard price, the extras that may apply, the payment moment, and what happens if the file changes.
Standard report
The standard validated residential report is EUR 599 incl. VAT. VAT, validation charges, and travel within the Eindhoven service area are included in that baseline.
Possible extras
Urgency, renovation valuation, and full English translation each cost EUR 60 incl. VAT when they apply. Ask before assuming an extra is included.
Payment timing
Payment is by bank transfer and is due one week after you receive the report. That gives you a clear payment moment after delivery.
Changes and cancellation
If work has already started, or if an inspection appointment is missed, costs can apply for time already spent. Share changes early so the quote can be checked.
What to send in the first message
A cost question is easier to answer when the file type and timing are clear. Send enough detail to confirm whether the standard report price fits or whether urgency, renovation, translation, or extra work may apply.
Property and purpose
Share the address, property type, and reason for the valuation. Mention whether the file is for a purchase, refinance, renovation financing, sale decision, personal matter, or another residential property question.
Deadline and recipient
State who needs the report and by when. If a lender, mortgage advisor, broker, notary, legal advisor, or tax advisor is involved, say which person or organization will use the value.
Original wording
Copy the exact Dutch or English wording you received. Keep terms such as NWWI, NHG, NRVT, taxatierapport, validation, WOZ, market value, and inspection visible instead of rewriting them loosely.
Available files
List what you already have: purchase agreement, ownership information, energy label, VvE documents, renovation plans, inspection notes, photos, or any lender checklist. Missing files can be added after intake.
